After the divorce, the salted fish beauty took the script of the villain

After Chen Yesheng returned without success, the entire Jiangnan spy team was at a loss. They thought that after finding Xie Jue, their mission would be completed. The prince would always consider the overall situation and persuade the young master to go home. Besides, this rumor is also related to him. Who knows Xie Jue didn't take it seriously, so they encountered a problem. How to report this matter to the commander?

"What else can we do? Tell the truth!" Chen Yesheng said that they had no choice but to tell the truth. They couldn't stop the commander from making any decision.

"We have approached the prince, do we have to say this?"

"What else?" Chen Yesheng said angrily, "If this matter is concealed at all, it will be us who will suffer in the future. If we had known better, we would not have told the commander about this matter."

"We didn't say it clearly, we just said there were such rumors. Who knew the commander would react so violently."

After everyone made the decision, they did not complain and acted separately. Chen Yesheng was worried and hoped that the commander would not send dead soldiers in anger. The scene would be ugly, so when he wrote the letter, he specifically included Xie Jue's original words... After adding fuel to the fire, I hope the marshal can handle it calmly. He is indeed not the second son of the Hou family now, but the only prince in Beining, who is above the marshal in rank.

Xie Jue had a simple meal and returned to the inn. Fang Chuning was arranging the food to be delivered to the inn with the soldiers. After checking one by one and finding nothing unusual, he took it to the kitchen.

"Is their nine-story pagoda good-looking?" Fang Chuning asked curiously, "What's on it?"

If he were not too tired, he and Xie Jue would like to visit the famous nine-story pagoda in Sangnan. Only high priests and members of the royal family can enter. The pagoda looks very grand from the outside, comparable to the temples of the Northern Barbarians.

"The high priest said that I don't inherit Sang Nan and am not qualified to enter. I only worshiped my aunt on the first floor." Xie Jue sneered coldly.

Fang Chuning clicked his tongue in disbelief, "Little Sang Nan, how dare you neglect you like this. Don't worry, when we regain Sang Nan in the future, we can do whatever we want and shovel it down."

Xie Jue laughed. Thinking of Chen Yesheng's incident, he hesitated to speak. Forget it. Since he didn't want to say it, there was no need to ask. There was no need to say many things straightforwardly. Fang Chuning could also understand.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are already pressing down on the border. King Sangnan must make a decision as soon as possible. Xie Jue is also waiting for King Sangnan's final decision. Whether it is a fight or a peace, there must be an explanation. He keeps delaying the decision. It won't work.

All the soldiers in the mission felt that Sang Nan was determined to win, so they went to play, purchase, and waited for King Sang Nan to agree to peace talks and then set off on their way back to the city. At this point, King Sangnan had no other choice. Whether it was provocation or sowing discord, Xie Jue had a way to deal with it and remained indifferent. He had nothing to say except agreeing to peace talks.

Therefore, Xie Jue was not surprised when news came from the palace that King Sangnan had agreed to peace talks. Han Ziqi personally came to pick Xie Jue and Fang Chuning into the palace to discuss the specific details of the peace talks. This time the high priest also came. The high priest had never participated in the details of the peace talks, but now he thought he had reached an agreement with King Sangnan.

After the two parties sat down, the palace people served hot tea. Fang Chuning and Master Gu sat beside Xie Jue on the left and right. Master Gu recorded the details of the peace talks. Opposite him were King Sangnan, the high priest, Han Ziqi, the third prince, and the eldest prince were not present. . Xie Jue thought that this prince had a violent temper and was not suitable for peace talks to avoid quarrels with others.

King Sang Nan and Xie Jue had fought against each other for many rounds, and they actually had a rough understanding of each other's bottom lines.

Since it was a formal peace talk, everyone didn't waste any time and talked directly about each other's conditions.

Xie Jue's request for Sang Nan was very simple. He was the main negotiator and put forward what he wanted first. "All the cities in Sang Nan will be under the jurisdiction of Beining. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers will all disarm and return to the fields. Sang Nan's land policy and taxation It will be consistent with Beining. The details will be adjusted after on-site inspection by the Ministry of Household Affairs. The army will be stationed in Sangnan and take over Sangnan. The existing city will remain unchanged. The king of Sangnan can retain three thousand private soldiers and be granted the title of county king. But if you stay in Peony City, all the royal family property will belong to the Han family, and we will not take any part of it. The compensation discussed at the beginning will be waived, but the surplus in the treasury will go to Beining. Our household department will check the accounts, and now all the land in Sangnan will belong to Beining."

The surrender mainly involves the army and land, and money is secondary. In fact, the return of Sangnan is easier than that of the northern barbarians, because the people of Sangnan do not need to move south and remain in their own homes. It is just a change of dynasty and a change of policy. The soldiers were originally from Sangnan. Now they are just discharging their armor and returning to their fields and families. There is no need to fight. It is unrealistic to send all the troops from Beining to Sangnan. There must be help from soldiers who are familiar with Sangnan, but that is a story for another day. , at the beginning, each city must send a large army to intimidate and manage, and implement Beining's New Deal. This will only cause a period of riots. Beining is very good at dealing with the turmoil caused by the New Deal, and it is not difficult to deal with it.

King Sangnan also knew that this was inevitable. King Sangnan's request was that the Sangnan Palace be privately owned by him, and the property could not be confiscated. He also asked for the fields south of Sangnan Peony and the shops in the downtown area. He knew that the land would be redistributed under Beining's new policy, but he was the surrendered king of Sangnan and enjoyed privileges. With Xie Jue's permission, he could own his own land and shops. This was not difficult, and Xie Jue also agreed.

King Sangnan was worried about being persecuted after surrendering, so he also asked for two death-free gold medals. Xie Jue was a little unhappy, but he agreed. After agreeing to this, Han Ziqi tentatively mentioned that Sang Nan surrendered only because he had wronged his father by being granted the title of county king. Han Ziqi hoped to be granted the title of a vassal king, and he proposed six cities around Peony City as vassal territory, and promised Sang Nan Wang Ke will never go to Beijing to worship.

Xie Jue was startled for a moment, and Fang Chuning mocked, "Beining has abolished the vassal system. The emperor's only brother does not have a fief. If King Sangnan wants to ask for a fief, then does the emperor also have to give a fief to His Highness King Yan? Otherwise, How could you stop the crowd? Moreover, the Northern Barbarians surrendered, and King Jingbei did not have a fief, and he had to live in the capital and be supervised. So, could King Jingbei also ask for a fief? Otherwise, why could King Sangnan ask for a fief? Beining has just established its dynasty and will grant three vassal kings. Do you think the emperor is so young and easy to bully that he dares to speak so loudly? Or do you think you are more important in the emperor's heart than his own brothers? "

Mr. Gu also wanted to say that he was afraid of hurting King Yan's face, so he tolerated Han Ziqi. This was indeed a big deal for a lion.

Han Ziqi argued vigorously, "The Northern Barbarians are different from Sangnan. The Northern Barbarians could not survive there and sought help from Beining, so they surrendered. Our Sangnan has fertile land, abundant food harvests, and dense trade. You don't have to waste a single soldier." As long as we get the treasure land of Sangnan, then my father’s desire to become a vassal king is not too greedy. Besides, we only ask for six cities around Peony City, which is only a quarter of Sangnan’s territory.”
